Lazy days

I'm working on a quilt that has taken up a handful of evenings sewing, but am at a moment where I need to cut a bunch more fabric, so seemed like a good time for a bit of a break. I'm about half way done though with the top... which really is what, like a quarter or an eighth of the way done really. It'll be good though, I am still lovin it! Anyhow, made a few lazy days skirts. Quick and easy!
The pink one is for Kaylee, I managed to make a cute little back-pack with the extra material. My kids were so excited about the backpack that I got some sharp ticking and made them some pants and the skirt for Grace and the bags... shoot no pictures of the cute bags. Fun, maybe not the most practical though. I barely got the kids to try on the clothes over, and was pleased to have them throw 'em on over what they were already wearing (thus the weird tops and for owen, the life preserver, which apparently is helpful for climbing too) and the poor shots, as they immediately took off and couldn't hold still for more than a moment.The skirt for G. is a bit bulky, but I liked the Pants for Owen... D. sent me the link to a blog with a free pattern, e-a-s-y really! Boldly, I even drafted my own pattern since the one provided was too small. I didn't think I was good with Pants, but I kinda get-it now.
